Master in Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence

At University of Southampton, tuition costs 42,314 USD per year.

The programme holds dual professional accreditation – it is recognised by the Institution of Engineering and Technology for Chartered Engineer status and by the British Computer Society – a distinction few UK universities can match.

It is aimed at applicants who have achieved strong results in mathematics (typically A*AA at A-level, 38 IB points with 6-7 HL Mathematics, or equivalent BTEC grades) and who are keen to develop both the theoretical foundations and practical skills needed to design and build advanced AI systems.

Over four years you study core computer-science subjects together with specialist AI modules such as machine learning, computer vision, intelligent agents, game theory and robotics. The final two years include an individual special project and a group design project carried out with academic or industry partners, preparing you for roles in the fast-growing AI sector.
